Children's dentistry in Waltham Forest

Waltham Forest has a smaller, more selective set of practices offering children’s dentistry: 6 of its 38 CQC-registered dental practices are verified as offering children’s dentistry on their own websites, across Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone and Chingford. Highly rated options include Forest Dental Care (4.7★) and Oak Hill Dental Practice, so it is worth comparing them closely before deciding.

How much does children’s dentistry cost in Waltham Forest?

NHS dental care is free for children under 18, and under 19 in full-time education, so most children’s dentistry is covered on the NHS at no cost. Where families prefer to go private, a children’s check-up in London typically costs between £40 and £75, with any treatment charged on top. Taking children for regular check-ups from an early age helps prevent problems and builds a positive, fear-free relationship with the dentist.
